SOUTH KOREA Tariffs and Value Added Tax Guide

Tariffs refer to the taxes levied by SOUTH KOREA on goods entering or leaving its borders in accordance with local laws.

Regardless of the declared purpose of the items you send, SOUTH KOREA customs can determine the import duties to be levied on those items based on factors such as their value and quantity.

How is import tax calculated for shipping to SOUTH KOREA ?

Tariffs plus value-added tax equals import tax. To give a simple example: when the declared value of an item is $200, with a tariff rate of 7% and a value-added tax rate of 10%, the calculation method is as follows:

Tariff
+
VAT
=
Import tax

Declared value x Customs duty rate = Tariff

$200 x 7% = 14 Tariff

(Declared value + Tariff) x VAT rate = VAT

($200 + 14) x 10 % = 21 VAT
